Has anybody else seen this xs650 on eBay? Wow......is it me or is this thing abnormally long? How can this be comfortable to ride? I'd feel a little goofy on it personally.

It's kinda differnt and cool. Looks like the front of the seat mount could be a bit dangerous though. The XS 650 is a pretty small bike, I think it looks longer than it actually is.

| There's no suspension on the rear wheel either. This just boggles my mind - the creation of Frankenstein was more practical.

| I can understand making the bike longer by having a huge fork but a long frame is silly. Your bike = sweet. Frankenstein bike = freaky.

Hi Guys,
Ewwww........what a waste of a good XS650 engine! I'd pay $100.00 for it, save the engine, and scrap the rest, or better yet, find someone with a Sportster engine and WAY too much money....
The way I see it, the rider must have six foot arms....proof of evolution!
I'll stick with mine: bike *and* arms!!

That bike on ebay cant be 12 feet long, look at it , you know how long the 650 motor is now compare the rest.

| I think the low drag bars and the goose necked frame make it appear longer, if it had ape hangers it wouldn't seem that bad.
